My esteemed opponent on OK Bridge showed why he had expert ratings when he wrapped up 12 tricks with little effort.
After winning the Club Ace he returned to hand with a top trump before ruffing his remaining Diamond in hand with the Jack. He now drew trumps and more trumps and in fact all the trumps and I sitting West had to eventually release a Spade. With me holding club control and 4 spades there was nothing I could do about it and I was well and truly squeezed as he proceeded to make two overtricks.
